Hi, I’m Sanda, a passionate Romanian girl with big dreams and an even bigger love for health and wellness.
I discovered fitness at 14, and it completely transformed me. By 19, I was a certified Group Fitness Instructor & Personal Trainer, teaching classes that lit me up and fueled my love for helping others feel strong and confident. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve taught thousands of women, coached at international events, and witnessed firsthand the life-changing impact of movement and a healthy lifestyle.
Fitness gave me energy, resilience, and focus to thrive as a lifelong high performer, balancing school, multiple degrees (two bachelor’s + two master’s), work, and a buzzing social life. It became my stress reliever, my joy, and my anchor.
But here’s the twist…
In my early 20s, despite living an extremely “healthy” lifestyle, I began struggling with stubborn cystic acne. I tried everything: over 20 doctors across Europe, endless creams, antibiotics, birth control, and even Accutane (twice). Nothing worked long-term. My acne always came back, and the treatments were slowly damaging my gut and liver.
Deep down, I knew there had to be a reason, something beyond clean eating and endless workouts. My gut told me I was missing the root cause.
That’s when I stumbled upon Functional Health. At the time, it was almost unheard of in Europe, but I knew it was the missing piece. I dreamed of moving to California to work with a functional doctor and in May 2023, I made it happen.
We ran advanced lab tests no doctor had ever ordered before: GI map, food sensitivities, mold & mycotoxins. The results were eye-opening. My cystic acne was linked to multiple root causes: mold exposure, poor digestion, liver congestion, detox imbalances, hormonal shifts, and hidden food sensitivities.
With a personalized protocol, targeted supplements, lifestyle changes, and real root-cause healing, my skin completely cleared within 6 months. My cystic acne was gone.
That moment changed everything for me. I knew this wasn’t just my story, this was hope for thousands of women who were stuck in the same frustrating cycle.
So, I followed the pull of my purpose and became a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P). Now, I help women uncover the hidden stressors in their bodies, heal at the root, and finally feel like themselves again, without wasting years chasing symptoms or spending thousands on band-aid solutions.
I understand your frustration and I won’t stop until we uncover your answers. Together, we’ll map out your Wholistic Blueprint so you can finally heal at the root and reclaim your health.
